The story of a cold male partner and a husband

meet

The news that the imperial envoy was going to Pinghuai Town followed the carriage of the imperial envoy out of the county, and spread out.

Most of the rich and gentry didn’t know what the emperor sent his lord to do in a small town of Pinghuai. Only a few families who had made friends with the high-ranking member of the county government got the gossip that a family in Pinghuai town planted The corn seeds here are very good, maybe they can catch the eyes of the imperial envoy.

These families are all shrewd, and upon hearing the news, they immediately made all kinds of plans.

After Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng returned home, they first planted the young sweet potato seedlings they bought in the sandy land with relatively fertile soil, and then asked Lao Hei to take Xie Yi and the others to replant the corn-filled land.

They planned to plant another crop of corn, but because they had already planted one crop before, many diseases would appear when they planted the second crop, so Ye Yuanxian made preparations for disease resistance in advance.

The cultivated land is sprinkled with a thick layer of plant ash, which can be used as fertilizer to grow crops, and can also kill insect eggs and bacteria in the soil to prevent pests and diseases caused by repeated cropping.

After the growth and harvest conditions were recorded in the previous batches, [-]% of the crops were taken to the county by the county government at market price and handed over to the imperial envoy for approval.

The other [-]% is left to them to deal with themselves.

Because the yield of their planting is really high, this 600% is enough for more than [-] catties, and only [-] to [-] catties are enough for making seeds.It is also very good to grind the leftovers into flour to make glutinous rice noodles and noodles.

Xie's family also has a lot of livestock. The donkeys and horses plowed together and plowed seven acres of land in less than a day.The three of them in Chunlai took a large sieve and roughly sifted through the plant ash, and then lifted it to the ground with a wooden shovel.

Village head Wang came to the door as soon as these were done, and his attitude was very polite: "Gentlemen, have the family affairs been settled properly?"

What he asked was naturally about the Zhao family.

Ye Yuanxian nodded, his attitude could not be called warm: "It's settled, what's the village chief's business?"

Village head Wang didn't mind his somewhat indifferent attitude at all, knowing that the two of them didn't like to gossip, he just smiled and said: "I took the liberty to bother you today, just to ask for some grain seeds."

"To tell you the truth, every family in the village has been growing sweet potatoes and sorghum in summer, which can be regarded as heavy crops every year, and the production has dropped a lot. In addition, there have been knots growing in the fields in recent years, which cannot be killed with plant ash. How many, the sweet potatoes that finally grow in the field are all rotten by bugs."

Village head Wang lowered his tone as he spoke, and sighed one after another: "The ones that were dug up and eaten by insects can't be stored for long. Sweet potatoes are the village's winter rations. If this continues, everyone will have to eat dried sweet potatoes throughout the winter." lived."

Moth-eaten and damaged sweet potatoes can't be eaten in a short time, so they can only be sliced ​​and dried, but dried sweet potatoes are okay to eat once in a while, and it is really a pain to eat every day.

"I heard from the officials in the county that corn is better for feeding people than sweet potatoes, so I have the courage to come here. Even if the yield of corn is not high, I will replace it with the ground. It is completely different from seeds. coherent."

After finishing speaking, Village Chief Wang looked at the two expectantly. Everything he said was true, and the festival has indeed caused headaches for the villagers in recent years.

Ye Yuanxian knows that the knotworm is a kind of bug that is slender like a toothpick and has two sharp ends covered with a slightly harder carapace. It likes to drill into the core of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and it can indeed cause a large reduction in the production of sweet potatoes.

But what does all this have to do with them?The village head Wang doesn't think they have any special feelings for the people in this wandering village, does he?Ye Yuanxian smiled sarcastically.

Seeing that Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng didn't show much emotion on their faces, Village Chief Wang knew that the two of them didn't like selling misery, so he stopped thinking about selling misery: "Of course, I know the two It is not easy for you to plant these grains, if there are surplus seeds, I am willing to buy them at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price, what do you think?"

This Village Chief Wang is a distant branch of the Wang family in the county. He studied in the family school with his grandmother when he was young.

When he said these words, he achieved the ultimate in face engineering, and even Ye Yuanxian wanted to boast that he was really a talent.

Seeing that the two of them did not speak, Village Chief Wang felt hesitant, and continued to lobby: "I will carefully distribute the seeds according to the wishes of the two of you. I will also let them feel very grateful, and there will be no more confusion, what do you two think?"

Village head Wang also knew that it would not be easy to come here today, but who made it so that only the Xie family has a good yield of corn in these ten miles and eight towns?What's more, the grain seeds in other villages and towns have been robbed early, so where are they outsiders?

Under Village Chief Wang's expectant and longing eyes, Ye Yuanxian nodded slowly: "Yes, but whoever sells it to is up to me."

Village head Wang choked up, then nodded, "Of course, you can sell it to whomever you two say, and I have no other opinions."

After Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng glanced at each other, they quickly picked out the candidates in their minds. Among them were Li Shihu, the senior old man who spoke for Xie's family when he let people destroy the young crops, and the Zhao family besieged that day. People who come to help out from time to time.

Seeing that the person he selected was similar to the one in his heart, Village Chief Wang was both relieved and regretful. He was relieved that the two did not remember the old enmity at all; it was a pity that they had offended people a lot before, and now they want to repair It is even more difficult.

That's all.Village Chief Wang sighed softly, what are the identities of the two of them, it is the best result if they don't turn around and take revenge on the village, and now they are willing to share one or two points of benefits to the villagers, which is the greatest fortune.What they have to do now is to grasp this dichotomy and live a good life as much as possible.

At dinner time, Village Chief Wang sent someone to take a hundred catties of corn seeds away. Under the setting sun, a plump pigeon landed in Xie's yard.

It was the news from the martial arts hall that the imperial envoy was coming to visit their home.

"Yuan Xian, what are you looking at again?" Xie Yifeng, who came back from a set of fists, was wiping his sweat, saw him holding a note in his hand, and asked.

Ye Yuanxian showed him the note in his hand: "The news from the martial arts hall said that the Japanese imperial envoy is coming, do you know the reason for his visit?"

Xie Yifeng pondered: "I don't have much contact with this imperial envoy. I only know that although he is lustful, he is not greedy, and he has never done anything against the rules. He is barely available."

Ye Yuanxian was puzzled: "Then why did he call to see you?"

Xie Yifeng sighed, a cluster of flames sprouted from his fingertips and burned the note cleanly: "I'm afraid it's not the imperial envoy who came, but the current Holy Majesty."

The morning sun spread like a flame, and the honor guard of the imperial envoys came to Youluo Village in a mighty manner, and finally stopped in front of Xie's house.

The leading county magistrate personally knocked on the door of Xie's house and brought him in.

"My lords, please." Chunlai and the others rarely put on uniform clothes that represented the Xie family, and put on appropriate makeup to set off the importance that the host family attaches to the guests.

It's just that the two masters are still missing.

The county magistrate opened his mouth to reprimand, but the imperial envoy glared at him and swallowed it, so the two followed Chunlai's lead and walked inside.

Some of the rest stayed outside the yard, while others followed in to serve.It's just that only the county magistrate and the imperial envoy were brought into the inner courtyard by Chunlai.

"You two please!" After Chunlai invited him into the inner courtyard again, he bowed and retreated.

There was a big peach tree planted in the inner courtyard. Under the peach tree, two young men dressed in one white and one black were drinking tea. After hearing the noise, they turned their heads to look at the person at the door.

The two are said to be people with excellent looks and temperament, and against the background of such a scene, they seem to be born as immortals.

The county magistrate suddenly forgot the question he was about to say, and the imperial envoy next to him reacted much faster than him. After a moment of trance, he quickly walked forward, and then knelt down under the county magistrate's unbelievable gaze. In front of the two of them.

I only heard the imperial envoy say: "My son has seen the king's father."

Monarch?What father?The county magistrate is at a loss.

And the capable magician in his eyes, Xie Yifeng, the current Patriarch of the Xie family, looked at the imperial envoy kindly under his astonished eyes: "This is my partner, just call him uncle."

I saw the imperial envoy simply buckled his head three times and said, "Ming and Qing met uncle."

"Get up!" Ye Yuanxian took out two jade pendants from his bosom and handed them to the "Imperial Envoy": "This jade pendant can protect safety, so let's treat it as a meeting gift."

Ming and Qing said thanks again before getting up from the ground.

Ye Yuanxian finally saw his face clearly, he looked to be only about 20 years old, with regular facial features and clear eyes, he looked like a younger generation with a good temperament.

As soon as Ming and Qing sat down, they couldn't wait to ask Xie Yifeng: "Where has Junfu been for half a year? Is he still in good health? The hidden guards under my hands are all dry food. It took a long time to find Junfu. A little news."

When Ming and Qing said these words, their eyes were full of respect, and their sincerity was not half false.

Speaking of this, the smile on Xie Yifeng's face faded a bit: "I lost the news, is there any change in the court these days?"

Ming Qing nodded: "Ji's family and Yue's family are not stable, the boy has already grasped their movements, and we just need to find the right time to eradicate them in one fell swoop."

Xie Yifeng patted him on the shoulder appreciatively: "I was injured that day. The injury was not serious at first, but I was plotted against by someone. When I wake up, I will think about it. The person who plotted against me is clearly a member of the army."

At that time, he fought against the barbarians, and among those who followed him in the end were members of the Ji family and the Yue family.

Even though Xie Yifeng had said that his health was fine, Ming Qing was still worried: "Father Jun is suffering, I don't know what's wrong with the injury, what kind of medicinal materials do you need? Let someone send it here immediately."

Xie Yifeng smiled lightly: "You don't have to worry, my health is fine. And this experience is also a happy event for me. I found your uncle by chance when I was living here."

The three of them sat under the peach tree to reminisce about the past, leaving only the magistrate standing at the door. At this time, his whole body was stiff and his mouth could not speak, as if he had been weathered into a stone.

Can anyone tell him why the good imperial envoy knelt and bowed his head to the two warlocks under his jurisdiction? Is his black hat going to be lost?
